PAOK improved and … prevailed by Apollo Limassol 3-1 in the … Marathon friendly on Dutch territory.
After the end of the match Razvan Lutsescuspoke to the press representatives about the image of his team, draws his conclusions, and revealed his thoughts on the draw with the Wolfsberger.
In detail his statements:
For his impressions of the first and second 60 minutes: “I don’t have things to keep. They are training, we are talking about a combination of football players. These games are to understand that the new ones can, and when they will be able to connect with the others, because, I said that I appreciate Taylor and Kenny’s work a lot, but at the same time, I can tell you that it was a little difficult to connect, as Tyson was used to playing with him. The defenders, Mikhailides and Batoula are a bit more complicated, as they need to be near players who will lead the defense. Second, are the steps we take as a team from one training to another, from one friendly to another. Above is this.
The connection between the players, and how quickly they will learn, such as Anestis myth, as an aggressive work and obligation that an striker has in our team. That’s for the first half. As for the second, we had other situations, with Despontov starting on the left side, because I felt that something had to change, freshen up his game, and had a good look. Chalov, I wanted to improve his pressure and runs, because he still can’t easily do that, but he is pushing himself. Meiet also took 90 minutes, because it is a body that wants different types of preparation, with more minutes. Baba to play with another partner in front of him outside Tyson. Above these were what I wanted to see. ”
For Luke Guggsashville: “I have a very good feeling for Lucas. The truth is that it takes time to adapt, time to understand the pressure and obligations it has in PAOK, in relation to the one he had in Panserraikos, his previous team. But he is a good footballer, he plays on foot, and if he understands our way of playing, how he has to play to avoid the danger. Day by day I feel that it can be a good choice for us. “
For the approach of the Naimenzen friendly: “I’ll mix the teams again, everyone should be ready, get minutes. We will most likely look at the situation with Pelka and Ivanzets about how we will manage it because they are less ready than others. I will continue to … mix the teams. “
For the draw with Wolfsberger: “All games are complicated, especially his first season. On the other hand, there is experience, motivation and knowledge to play such games. In any case we must be concentrated. When I saw our draw and our opponent, I said we should be 100% in terms of spiritual part, because it is physically normal not to be 100%. And that should be the way of preparing for the game.
Especially with this opponent (Wolfsberger), we must be ready to “fight” because it is a team that will force us to fight, you saw it today. It is a team from Cyprus and we were not ready to react and we were trapped. We made mistakes and gave them the opportunity to score.
We have to be more ready to react, and especially at this time everything is spiritual. Back in Thessaloniki things will be different at a physical level. “
